This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Outstanding Attorney

We hired Dana to conduct an in dept investigation into the theft of financials and she went above and overboard doing her job. Conducted a job well done and appreciated. All the workers in this firm are straight up in everything they did and we would highly recommend them to any one.

Review of Dana Ann Dwiggins

Dana is an exceptional attorney. She practices primarily in the area of probate and trust litigation, where she represents heirs, beneficiaries, creditors and fiduciaries in matters affecting all aspects of trusts and estates. She also handles all aspects of the administration of probate and trust e...states. In addition she practices in the area of family law. I retained Dana to assist me with the preparation of a premarital agreement. She was timely, efficient and effective and she helped me to create an iron clad agreement. She has the highest degree of professionalism and ethics. I strongly recommend her for any trust, estate, probate, litigation or family law matters.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
